In their short period as a band, they've shared the stage with national acts such as The Appleseed Cast, Film School, The Mae Shi, Jupiter One, Sera Cahoone (Sub Pop) and many more. The nine piece got their name from the animated cult favorite, The Point, a movie in which a young, round headed boy named Oblio is born into an unusual kingdom in which everything and everybody is pointed.
In November of 2008, members of Me and My Arrow recorded with Ben Bridwell (Band of Horses) on a cover of George Harrison's "Your Love Is Forever." The track can be found on the Starbuck's compilation "Sweetheart."
Me and My Arrow strikes a finely tuned balance of dynamic energy and dreamy pop melodies. They have a high-powered sound that stands out in songs like Revolver and Oblio, while at the same time they manage to bring forward a symphonic organization of instrumentation in the epic track s.m.t.r.m.
Don't Let Me Down
Me and My Arrow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All my pictures seem to fade to black and white
I'm growing tired and time stands still before me
Frozen here on the ladder of my life
It's too late to save myself from falling
I took a chance and changed your little life
But you misread my meaning when I met you
Don't let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself it's someone else I see
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me
I can't find all the right romantic lines
But see me once and see the way I feel
And don't discard me just because you think I mean you harm
But these cuts I have they need love to help them heal
(repeat chorus twice)
The song "Don't Let Me Down" by Me and My Arrow is an emotional plea to someone who means a lot to the singer. The opening lines express a sense of despair and hopelessness, as the singer seems to be living in shadows and darkness. The idea of pictures fading to black and white is a metaphor for how the singer's life has lost its vibrancy, and they feel trapped on a ladder of their own making. The next stanza reveals that the singer has taken a risk to change this monotony and tried to bring someone into their life. However, this person misinterpreted their intentions, leading to disappointment and a feeling of being left in the dark.
The chorus then introduces the plea to not let the sun go down on the singer. This could be a request to the person they are addressing, as well as a metaphor for wanting to hold onto hope and positivity in their own life. As the song progresses, the singer admits to feeling inadequate and not knowing how to express their feelings in a romantic way. However, they hope that this person will see past their flaws and be willing to help them heal from their past hurts.
